With the wild rose sweetly clinging.

Laid here on the hill to rest,
Glad to lay down the burden
With peace on lip and breast.

Just over the hill to the right.

On the dear old hillside farm.

And the serpent tralcd his venom
And left hjs impress there.

That leads to sin and death.

Plncked in its youthful prime,
Only Il frail bark stranded
And left on the shores of time.

pared for more
CHANGES OF CLIMATE
than are often experienced within so short a
time. Where the Cruz del Marquis stands,
nearly ten thousand feet above the sea, furs
would be a blessing; but two hours later the
heat is so intense that one longs for the fashion
of Adams day. Not far beyond La Cruz the
descent begins into the Cucrnavaca valley. and
from the pine-crOwned plateau into the burn
ing terra cdtiente the slope is much more
abrupt on the western than the eastern coast,
so that we dash at once from one zone to the
other, and while yet among the hcmlocks of the
mountain top catch glimpses of cane-fieds and
orange-grovcs.
AS we cattcr down the hills, crossing stream
after stream, the heat becomes almost insulcr-
able, growing stronger as the afternoon wanes.
We yearn to tarry at the pretty little Indian
village called HuichiIaquc, whose cane cot
tagcs, ovcrgrown with crccpcrS and shaded by
Towering trees, look particularly attractive
but like that cranky individual whose cry was
"EXcelsior! we must sternly reject all such
alurcments and move steadily on.-though,
unlike his, our way leads downward. More
and more arid grows the country, until appar-
emily every particle of vegetation is burned
away. Not Il tree is in sight, save here and
there feathery palm or cocoa, which afford
no shade, gorgeous masses of unknown wild
flowers, vivid yellow spotted with crimson,
riot over the hedge rows, and cacti towers to
heights which you would not believe were
to tell you.

creatures ,lartin" over adobe walls, to big,
sluggish, dust-colorcd fcIows-many of them
two or three feet long-baskiny in the >ru-
shine with half-shut eyes.
At last, ,-wearicd, dirty, aching and il-tem-
percd-wc dash into Cucrnavaca amid a cloud
of dust, and arc turned out, sans ceremonie,
on the main plaza in front of the hotel dc San
Pedro. Immediately everybody makes Il rush
for the baths, which are situated one block
north of our hoStclric; and thence direct to
supper and slumbcr in the inn of the good
Saint Peter.
Fair Cucrnavaca. The Tlahuicas tribes call
cd it misunderstanding ''near to the
beautiful hills" and still earlier Indians named
it Cuanahllae, ,-''thc flower surrounded" And
well it deserves all the praises which poets and
romancers have been lavshing upon it during
the last three hundred years; but we must
leave its manifold attractions until another
week. FANNIE b. WARD.

CLAN TALK

BY CAPT. TOM.
On the sylvan shores of Belfast BAY,
Alta place called ''Pu,lllc Dock
], Il little blinking Clam was born,
Hard by IL nlossy rock.
remember well my first Birthday
Near a boulder rough and seamy,
And also Il frog, who sat on Il log,
And ''sang' to "NIother Swecny
And Just here let me say, in my innocent way,
As behind us we leave the Oil log,
That the singing of some Of the 'st;rs'' of our
day,
Much resemble the croak of this frog.
Well, as time in his flight left the hours behni,
As of clam food heartily ate,
very fat grew, and little knew,
This would hasten my terrible fate
On each sunny day came out of the mud,
And Wnkcd with my little blue eye,
At Uncle Nat Grant. as on "number H.
lie ilew past like a bolt from the sky.
And, The clans strictly speaking, are supposed to
be blind,
STILL noticed each stnshny day,
That the Puddle Dock girls with their ,rlml. and
their curls,
We're quite fond of bluc-cycd Charlie Ii.
Says good Mother Swecny, as with unerring aii..
\ brick at a feline she hurs,
Bad luck to the day when the rtilroaolers gay
Clapped their eyes on our rosy checked girls
But the merry railroatler soon left, and it seems
So still that the tick of the clock
In poor Mother SWecny's could almost he heard
All over poor Old Puddle Dock.
As for me, grew up Il rOuSing big clam,
Each day growing fat. and more jolly,
Till Il rough old cl;,m-'ii tossed me up on his
fork,
And dumped me into his troly.
was quick introduced and made my debut
Joined the clam aristocracy ring,
But, as mentioned before, had soon to deplorc
The hard fate which this action would bring.
My brothers and were soon put aboard
OF the steam cars, and soon with shock
We rush out in the world and whisper goodbye
Forever to Old Puddle Dock.
With the speed of the wind we fly thro' the air,
Across river, DER valley and hill,
Till with Scant ceremony the baggage man bold
Chucks me out when they call 'W atcrvllc."
At the cold Corner Market we quickly arrive,
And Captain Tom smilingly bland,
says: "to-nlght we'll serve up in own royal
STYLE"
A rich dish for our clam eating band.
Now kind friends, we are here, and our fate we
would know,
And tho such fate seems indeed hart,
had rather Il clam eater swallowed me whole
Than be dropped into boiling hot lard.
But favor ask, which we know you will
grant,
Fen we come to the last final shock,
lis Il toast that give, and let us all drink
TO the sweet girls of Old Puddle Dock.

A Clam Party in Waterville.

The Watervillc Mail recently published the fol-
lowing from correspondent: Not many moons
ago party of ladies' and gentlemen met at the
residence of that genial gentleman and prince
ly entertainer, Mr.. Edward l.. Neazie, and any
one whose good fortune has brought him in
contact with "Cam-eater, fat and hearty,"
would have no difficulty whatever i'm at once
making up his mind that the party had met
to partakc for the last time this season of
The cause of all the trouble and joy
or this cloudy April day.,
The softly blinking, juicy clam,
From far of Belfast Bay.
and surely Il jolly party and as with joke and
song and story, the hours pass quickly by. and
as mid CLANS and fun and merrment they hold
their reve high, the happy clamcatcrs, taking
no note of time, find that
The merry hours have quickly flown,
Our happicst moments dl,rdys HY,)
Old Chanticleer his buge blows,
Reminding us that morn was nigh
And so it was. The first rosy flush Of the
morning came peeping over the hills, and the
fun-loving clam-caters were brought face to face
with the fact that if the honor and fair fame
of the ancient order to which they belong was
to remain untarniShed, they must be quickly
disappearing, ere the busy day came on.
And of the entertainment this must he said:
The clans never We're better. nor better cooked
and scryed; the genial Edward and his merry
little companion We're never more entertaining,
and, in fact, necer was a gathering of the hila-
riou> cam-catcrs better enjoyed. And rs the
doors of the hospitable mansion close upon the
last waddling clam-eater, the merry host is
seen to chuck his little wife under the chin.
and while his merry feet trip to music sweet,
he sings:
OH II clam eater bold am L.
Ard terrible when Pm riled,"
Still Pm friend of the dreamy clam,
And love him when he's biled.'
And, as the glorious days of summer come,
with towering shrub and cafy tree. and as the
life-giving brcezes arc waited DER the hills and
daleS of the "front yard of New England"
may each breath of balmy air that blows be
laden with health and JOY and happiness for
each and every one of our merry band Of clam-
caters.
And, as summer wanes. and the cool and
restflIl days of autumn come, may we not all
hope TO meet once again and join once more in
our merry, laughing scramble ''to see who gets
the biggest clam
